by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

A krov`!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
A krov`? A krov`? Ona techet povsyudu.
I e`to est` razlitie Zari?
Dusha, terzayas`, xochet verit` chudu.
No nezhny'x slov sejchas ne govori.

YA chuvstvuyu zhestokuyu obidu.
YA sly'shu vopl` golodny'x materej.
I kak zhe ya v svoe blazhenstvo vnidu,
Kogda est` bol` vkrug radosti moej?

Vse zh vedayu, chto radost` neizbezhna.
No ot luchej da podelyus` ognem.
Sklonyayus` k temny'm. Gor`ko mne i nezhno,
O, bol` dushi! Zamolknem i usnem.
